Watch The Road

Watch the road
Overgreen
Nature goes inevitable
Blank city connected space
Cage overdying

A ship breaks the trees
No metaphor of shipwreck
Sea hating and depressing

Turning at a noise
A few great engines pathetic, regular and horizontal

Soon As My Heart Breaks

Soon as my heart breaks
Soon as my mind starts telling me
That Ive had enough
That Ive given all Ive got to you
With nothing in return
Soon as my heart breaks
Soon as my soul stops aching for you
Then Ill be alright
Maybe I can sleep the night
Knowing that Im free again
But how can I walk on knowing youre the only one I need
Cant you see me
Soon as my heart breaks
Soon as I hide the tears I cry
That youll will never know
Holding back the side of me
That longs to leave but cant let go
And how can I move on knowing your love is the one I need
Cant you see m
Cause if my heart breaks
Ill have to find the strength
To say the words goodbye
Soon as my heart breaks

What Happens

I found myself pride
Courage in strides
For a moment there
I felt no care

My life was free
There was nothing to need
Just one simple glimpse
And my stride is a limp

My pride breaks and shatters
And things started to matter
With one little smile
My mind's in denial

I cannot hide
With a dream like sigh
What happens is this:
An inevitable kiss

When Love Breaks Down

My love and I
We work well together
But often we're apart
Absence makes the
heart lose weight, yeah
'Til love breaks down,
love breaks down
Oh my, oh my
Have you seen the weather
The sweet September rain
Rain on me
like no other
Until I drown, until I drown
When love breaks down
the things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down
When love breaks down
My love and I
We are boxing clever
He'll never crowd me out
Both be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town
When love breaks down
the things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When loves breaks down
the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down
we join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down
When love breaks down
My love and I
We were high and climbing
Into the sky of blue
Loud with colours
of a rainbow
A changing view
Changing view
When love breoks down
the things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
the lies we tell
They only serve to fool ourselves
When love breaks down
we join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
When love breaks down
When love breaks down

Inevitable

Somewhere in Forster—was it Aspects of the Novel?—
there's something to the effect of,
How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?
I've always meant to check the quote, but I'm half afraid
it won't be there, or if it is, that I got it all wrong,
and I pretty much like it the way it is—
I pull it out and toss it onto the table like one of those
really brightly colored chips that only get thrown into the pot
after the hand has gotten out of control and someone wants
to say something a bit more heady than, I'll see you,
and raise you, but that's what he always says, it's inevitable.
In fact, it is inevitable, the word, inevitable,
that has bought me down this road in the first place,
that made me remember Forster, and whether or not
something is inevitable—now, this is the leap—like, say,
the week I just spent in Illinois with a married woman,
who for a long time has been burning
like one of those sad wildfires they have had
all summer long out West, that gets bigger and hotter,
and spreads, it seems, forever, and while this one burned,
I kept telling myself that it was inevitable
that we would end up in the same town somewhere
at the same time, and inevitable, too, that after a few days
one or both of us would allow our ambiguity
about what was going on to get the best of us,
and we both would walk off sad and hurt,
when really it was not us who had a right
to sad and hurt, her husband and children having
a much better claim, and in the interest of terribly clarity,
of unrelenting truth, it is necessary here to interject
the word guilt, and while some people,
those who buy into religion, for example, who touch
finger to finger with the Hand of Heaven,
all herb and clay-tinted oil, on a stone ceiling,
will use Eve's apple to explain how all this is inevitable,
part of some great master plan. I wonder;
or was it simply another test, an opportunity to
do the right thing, and perhaps we failed, and I am not
even sure about that, but I know that she and I feel guilty,
and while I thought it was inevitability
I was talking about here, it was something else entirely,
and I guess old Forster was right, even if he didn't say it.

The Soul Breaks

THE SOUL BREAKS

The soul breaks.
Time breaks.
Everything we are breaks.
Nothing is always as it should be forever.

The most horrible

I have to face the deaths of my parents.
Inevitable and unbearable;
I have to face the death of myself too.
Inevitable and most dreadful;
If I faced the death of my grown child,
Which I need not, it’d be most horrible.

Sadness Comes With Fear

SADNESS COMES WITH FEAR

Sadness comes with fear,
Dread of what might be-

We live assuming we will be able to go on-
We do not know
What the next day will bring.

As long as there is a ‘for now’
We close our minds to the inevitable.
But one day the inevitable happens
And all is changed beyond our worst dreams.

Oh God not now not yet Please.

Óhjákvæmilegur

You haven’t experienced riding in a car meeting a ten-wheeler truck
Surprisingly on a curve
And the driver beside you slept,

You see the truck approaching the car
Where you are inside it,

Something sure singles you out
The unalterable, the inevitable
The collision that could not be evaded,

In that experience, you know what
Inevitable was, you closed your eyes

It was a miracle
You survived.

The Morning Breaks Out

the morning breaks out in beauty
and I say hello to the storms
to the clouds and the blue
to the shore to the sea

the morning breaks out in love
and I say hello to the hearts
to the faces and the smiles
to the hands and to the eyes

the morning breaks out in wonder
and I say hello to the child
to the young to the old
to the living and the dead

the morning breaks out in hope
and I say hello to the horizon line
drawing the instinct pre-nature soul
within whose wisdom I'll daily dwell

A hundred years ago, the electric telegraph made possible - indeed, inevitable - the United States of America. The communications satellite will make equally inevitable a United Nations of Earth; let us hope that the transition period will not be equally bloody.

If evil is inevitable, how are the wicked accountable? Nay, why do we call men wicked at all? Evil is inevitable, but is also remediable.

When Your Lonely Heart Breaks

When your lonely heart breaks
Dont sit counting your mistakes
Dont be waiting for love to come back
Dont be wastin time
Dont be lost in crime
When your lonely heart breaks
When your lonely heart breaks.
Whats your problem, shes gone
Youre still movin, movin on
You got memories, she got strong
Theres a lot of things
That arent gone
When your lonely, lonely heart breaks
When your lonely heart breaks.
When your lonely heart breaks
Dont be cryin for good times you had
When your lonely heart breaks.
When your lonely heart breaks
Dont sit counting your mistakes
Dont be waiting for love to come back
Dont be wastin time
Dont be lost in crime
When your lonely, lonely heart breaks
When your lonely, lonely heart breaks
When your lonely heart breaks.

Confidence

Men, who man the machines
Repose confidence in them
Which they should
To a limit
Which be ascertained by inner self
Confidence when bursts the seams
Leads to inevitable
Which
Becomes evitable with bursting seams
Paradoxically
No confidence reposed on man
Who can respond
If not for evitable
Can avoid the inevitable.

Everything Breaks Sometime

Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows, more often than not
Im sorrys a stupid word, a stupid thing to say
Especially considering its not like I planned it this way
But Im sorry is all that there is left of me
Im so sorry this love made me hollow and left you empty
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
Its hard to believe its boiled down to this
It seems so surreal this wont be healed by a kiss
Its hard to stare at you knowing you like I have
I used to feel so close, now I feel so bad
My hearts filled with thunderstorms and Im ready to burst
And Ive lost my favorite harbor and Ill weather for the worst
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
Im so sorry,
Everything breaks sometime

Fateful Death

Blow your mind

Sink in the air

They love you

They loath you

Smile

It makes you look better

Feeling your way through the blindness

Seeing nothing, and everything simultaneously

Let go

Your fate is inevitable

Who am I?

Sitting so lonely on the pale window sill…

Come closer, here

Smile into the eyes of your death

Who am I but your fate?

I will corrupt you, love you

Torment you, kill you…

Your inevitable fate…

The Valentine Of A Firework

As they dimmed over high school,
And the baseball diamond,
And the inevitable wives went home to
Their inevitable husbands:
From the malls as from the estuaries-
I thought of the romance
In the valentine of a firework: very cheap
Romance bought in packs
Like cigarettes- for an amusing moment-
To scare the children,
And annoy the neighborhood- and yet to
Come from so very far away-
And to be so profound in their beautiful
Daredevilry,
But too end up not really there- to last for
The moment of a lover’s holiday-
A honeymoon of overpriced nonsense-
And that is all:
Not even an echo, not even a sad knock on
A sad door.
